Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Shakes Head at Criticisms From Lennox Lewis

[todisday]

I doubt Lewis is afraid of saying it to his face. Old or not, I bet Lewis could still let loose a right hand or two before gassing; he ain't afraid of Joshua.

Imo Lewis needs to chill

AJ is 28 and just entering his prime, he could have another decade left in the sport.

Yes Lewis had great achievements in the sport and goes down as an ATG but he should understand more than most that you judge a career at the end of it not 1/3 of the way through.

Lewis only got respect from Americans near the very end of his career. Even up to the Michael Grant fight they still saw Lewis as a weak English muffin who may well lose to grant.

It was the same with klitschko who had to dominate for a decade before he got a begrudging respect from Americans.

Compare to Wilder who after ONE good win was getting praised up the wazoo

It's totally different standards

Basically, have a bit more understanding Lennox and stop playing into the American narrative.

You need to chill motherfùcker. Stop sucking AJ's ****. You ****** Vlads **** back in the day and you were the most hated person here. Time to get on the ignore list. You're just a domestic troll, pure garbage.

AJ is such a *****ing hypocrite.

Could you please point out to me how AJ is a hypocrite?

[Sid-Knee]

Unlike Lennox Lewis AJ is ****** rich not because of the opponents he has faced but because of his promoter Eddie Hearn. Eddie Hearn and Sky Sports have made this guy so much money for doing so little, it's not funny.

AJ has earned everything he's got. Hearn doesn't even come into it. Because if he did, wouldn't that mean EVERY fighter would earn the same as AJ by being with Hearn?

AJ sells a load of tickets and PPV. He also has endorsements. It's because people want to watch him, just as people wanted to see the other big earners throughout history that made lots of money. You make it out as though they're ill gotten gains. Which is a pretty nasty point of view if you ask me.

Lewis has some decent wins by the time he was 28, but nothing great...he was also KOd by McCall shortly after. The better part of lewis’s career didn’t start until he was both older than aj, and had more fights.

If AJ was smart, he'd see that Lennox sees his potential and just wants him to do better and not let Eddie Hearn turn him into the British Canelo, overrated with dubious accomplishments.

He wants him to be great for British boxing and take up his mantle.

Instead AJ and his stans just see him as "jealous" as if AJ's gonna go down in history as even half as great as Lennox who is in most people's top 10 all-time with guys like Ali, Louis, Tyson, Foreman, Frazier, Marciano and names like that.

There's people that think AJ's not even the best in this era of weak HWs

[DaNeutral.]

Lennox Lewis had a fantastic career in Anthony Joshua can have one close to his then AJ should be very proud of it. Hes not there yet. However if you compare Lewis career after 23 fights and Joshua after 23 fights Joshua is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Lennox Lewis. AJ has done enough to get a tick for his career so far but Mr Lewis doesnt want to acknowledge any of it.

How was he not already on your list?

[Phenom]

That's some old ass interview slow news day? I keep hearing Eddie disrespecting Lewis too I guess his words are hitting too close to home

[Califire209]

Lennox is calling it like he sees it,, ruffling all these ducks feathers in the process.
